Take advantage of opportunities!

WEST MAUI — Business opportunities? Given the sign of the times, there are so many different types of opportunities in Maui.

If you have thought about starting that new business venture, there are various spaces open in the heart of Lahaina for rent to showcase your new idea, new business or products. One such place is right at 129 Lahainaluna Road just half a block off Front Street. There are smaller spots of 450 square feet up to 1,800 square feet with reasonable rents . The cruise ships have now been coming into Lahaina Harbor, the tourists are venturing out exploring, and soon we start the annual whale season. What a perfect time to get started!

Land opportunities? There are a few spots that are worth mentioning. A lot in Makila Plantations II comes to mind. There is a beautifully graded five-acre lot with both pads in place, some rock stack walls and gorgeous views. Priced at $999,000, the property allows you the main home, a cottage and even a service barn.

The vacant land prices in the Launiupoko area start in the $400,000s for various size acreages. In Olowalu Mauka, there is 3.73-acre lot with great views. It has already been split into two parcels for $879,000. A direct ocean front lot in Olowalu, less than 100 feet from the ocean, is also for sale. This is a legacy property! It is a unique opportunity to be on this conservation parcel. It has all the permits and plans approved for a plantation-style home of 3500 square feet.

In the Launiupoko area, there is a huge price reduction on a tropically landscaped five-acre parcel with two structures already built and the pad already cut for another home. Priced at $1,695,000, this cottage provides a place to live while building or a good rental on the property. There is a large 1,600-square-foot barn with huge 1,600-square-foot lanais, full woodworking shop, staging areas and more.

The lot has numerous fruit trees, plants, landscaping plants and a sod farm on-premises that are all part of the working nursery. If you are looking for value, this is a must-see for the area! Please call me for any information or your private showings.
